Audacy adds Erick Erickson to the weekday programming lineup for WYRD-FM (News/Talk 98.9 WORD) in Greenville, weekdays from 12-3pm ET beginning June 21. He has served as a political contributor to CNN and FOX News and hosting the evening drive timeslot on WSB in Atlanta, covering politics, news, culture and current event topics. Erickson has been a regular co-host alongside Neal Boortz and the late Herman Cain and Rush Limbaugh and has since expanded his show to more than 20 stations nationwide.

"With the arrival of Erick Erickson as the new afternoon talk show host on WYRD-FM, an unsurpassed team of talent will serve the Upstate, north Georgia and western North Carolina," said Audacy Greenville-Spartanburg Senior Vice President and Market Manager Steve Sinicropi. "Erick's thought-provoking discussions, unyielding insight and captivating presence will be a welcomed addition to our listeners and partners. Erick will complete News/Talk 98.9 WORD's incredible lineup, allowing us to provide unmatched content for listeners and the largest and most effective platform for advertisers."

"I grew up spending parts of my summer in Upstate South Carolina and am thrilled to be on a station where I can connect with parts of my family and friends and make new friends," added Erickson. "News/Talk 98.9 WORD isn't just a powerful signal, but a strong voice and talk radio leader. I'm glad to be part of the team and look forward to spending more time in Greenville."
